is it president obama's pick for secretary of defense? or is it the man the american people have chosen? is it about a confirmation or a desperate push to undermine the president's second term. listen to those attacking senator hagel and you'll hear the yelps of pain, this motley crew of neocons and the sun belt feel. what they hate, despise, really, is the fact that now in the history books, the american people voting in great numbers reject their war-reich jinglistic notions of what america stands for. their problem is with america's choice of who it wants to be president. who it wants to sign. and what we should be doing in this world. obama works for peace. he works hard for it. this crowd has other ideas. and that's "hardball" for now. happy valentine's, everybody. what a day. and thanks for being with us tonight. "the ed show" with ed schultz starts right now. >>> good evening, americans. and welcome to "the ed show" from new york. i get some backup tonight. james carville is here to explain why it's still the economy, stupid. this

that hurts this economy and your obama line. because of these automatic cuts about 90,000 virginians who work for the department of defense would be forced to take unpaid leave from their jobs. then that means there's going to be a ripple effect on thousands of other jobs and businesses and southwests throughout the commonwealth because if they don't have money in their pockets or less money in their pockets, that means they're less able to afford to buy goods and services from other businesses, so it's not just restricted to the defense industry. all told, the sequester could cost tens of thousands of jobs right here in virginia. it doesn't just stop there. if the sequester goes into effect, more than 2,000 college students would lose their financial aid. for nearly 1,000 children and 18,000 fewer virginians would get the skill and training they need to find a job. across the country these cuts will force federal prosecutors to close cases and potentially let criminals go. air traffic controllers and aircraft security will see
